newbie question re using hyphens in favorites

[lenraphael]

are hyphens used to annotate favorites or to sort them?

please give an example of what an edited favorite looks like after adding a hyphen.

e.g. do you need a space after the hyphen for the shortcut to work?

or should i just use "catalogs" and not mess with favorites?

Not sure if this is what you're asking about, but from the help file:

Sticky Section: Various most-recently-used (MRU) lists can have an optional Sticky Section. Items in the Sticky Section are permanent members of this list and will never be pushed out when new items are added. You can use this section for your all-time favorite items and carefully crafted patterns. The Sticky Section can be added via List Management, simply add this dummy item as section separator:

-----> mru

Everything above this line is in the Sticky Section. Everything below this line is in the MRU Section. So the Sticky Section is always displayed on top of the whole list.

Many MRU lists support a Sticky Section, e.g.: Address Bar & Go to, Find Files: Name, Find Files: Location, Rename Special: (...), Visual Filters, Selection Filters, Move/Copy/Backup To, Recently Opened Files, Recent Catalogs, Recently Included Catalogs.

It's also possible to delineate sections in Favorites by inserting a single hyphen between the sections.
